CROSSFIRE 

Cross Fire is an online multiplayer first person shooter (FPS). You join other players online for team games.

After installation, which may take a few minutes, you have to choose your Cross Fire screen name, and a character. There are three to choose from, a Russian OMOH soldier, British SAS or US S.W.A.T. member. There are also a variety of guns to arm yourself with. These menus are a bit over complicated, but it's not necessary to spend too much time there unless you want to.

Joining game servers is really simple, and once you have, you'll be presented with a list of games to join or you can create your own. Cross Fire has four game modes; the classic Team Death Match, Search and Destroy, Elimination and Ghost Mode, which is the most innovative. Here, one team is cloaked, and armed with knives, and have to sneak around to destroy a target.

Team Death Match seems to be the most popular, as it offers fast paced shooting action. The controls are typical for an FPS, and work fine. The Graphics are acceptable, not amazing, which means Cross Fire runs really smoothly on most PCs. For a free multiplayer game, it's fantastic. The sound is great, and playing is really enjoyable.
